In a surprising turn of events in the English Premier League, Everton defeated Newcastle United 1-0 at St. James' Park on May 25, 2025. Carlos Alcaraz's goal in the 65th minute sealed the victory for the visitors. Despite Newcastle dominating possession with 65.3% and taking 17 shots compared to Everton's 14, they failed to convert their chances. Everton, playing in a 4-2-3-1 formation, proved more clinical, capitalizing on one of their six shots on target. Newcastle, lining up in a 3-4-3, also managed six shots on target, but Everton's goalkeeper proved too difficult to crack.
The AI-powered pre-game prediction favored a Newcastle United win with a 58.3% probability, making Everton's victory an upset. The AI model didn't expect a balanced game, but the closely contested scoreline suggests otherwise. Newcastle's form has been inconsistent recently, with two wins, two losses, and a draw in their last five matches. Their previous game was a loss against Arsenal (1-0). Everton, on the other hand, have been in better form, securing three wins, one loss, and one draw in their last five outings and continued their good form with a third win in a row.
Looking at the head-to-head record, previous encounters between these teams have been closely contested, with a mix of results. However, Newcastle had been performing poorly against Everton in the last years, and in general the games were with low score. Newcastle's inability to convert possession into goals has been a recurring theme, as seen in their recent loss to Arsenal. Everton's resilience and ability to capitalize on limited opportunities are key factors in their recent success. This victory will boost Everton's confidence for their upcoming matches, while Newcastle will need to address their finishing issues to improve their results.

On May 25th, 2025, St. James' Park will host a potentially thrilling English Premier League encounter between Newcastle United and Everton. AI is predicting a Newcastle United victory, assigning them a 58.3% win probability compared to Everton's 18.7%. The draw probability is calculated at 23.0%. Newcastle's recent form has been mixed, with two wins, two losses and a draw in their last five games. Their key player, young striker Alexander Isaksson, will be looking to add to his goal tally.
Everton, despite a weaker team rating (0.625) than Newcastle's 0.695, also show two wins in their last five matches but their recent head-to-head record against Newcastle is not inspiring. Their hopes will rest on the shoulders of experienced midfielder James Ward-Prowse to control the game's tempo. AI algorithms considered Newcastle's strong home advantage and slightly better overall team performance when making its prediction. However, football is unpredictable, and Everton could certainly upset the odds, especially with Ward-Prowse's set-piece expertise. The AI prediction provides an interesting preview, but the true drama will unfold on the pitch.
